CITRUS AND PERSIMMON SALAD
Winter is the time for all kinds of colorful fruit. Citrus choices abound, from grapefruit in many hues to brilliant blood oranges. Paired with slices of persimmon and topped with sparkling red pomegranate seeds, this kind of simple fruit salad makes a refreshing adessert. It relies only upon the seasonal fruits' own sweet juices for flavor. If you want something more, add a splash of orange liqueur or limoncello.

Steps:
- Using a small serrated knife, peel the navel oranges, blood oranges and grapefruit. They should be perfect globes with no pith. Slice the fruit crosswise about 3/8-inch thick and place in a salad bowl.
- Peel and core the persimmons. Slice them about 1/4-inch thick and add to the salad bowl. Arrange the fruit in a random pattern. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds over the top. Cover well and chill for 1 hour. Serve in small bowls, making sure each serving gets some of every type of fruit and a good spoonful of the juices that will have gathered at the bottom of the bowl.

KALE AND PERSIMMON SALAD WITH PECAN VINAIGRETTE
Persimmons are the perfect newcomer to the Thanksgiving table. Their subtle sweetness melds beautifully with the sharpness from the pickled shallots and creaminess of the cheese in this pretty fall-inspired salad. There are two major types of persimmon sold in the States: Fuyu, which are shaped like tomatoes and best eaten raw, and Hachiya, which have a more tapered shape and are better for baking. (We call for the Fuyu variety here.) If you can't find persimmons, dried apricots plumped in orange juice will stand in nicely.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until very golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool and very finely chop.
- Meanwhile, whisk together 1/3 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon honey and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add the shallots and let sit at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until the shallots turn bright pink and are slightly pickled, about 10 minutes. Remove the shallots and set aside (discard the liquid).
- Whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup vinegar, Dijon mustard, remaining 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, until the mixture is blended. Stir in the toasted pecans.
- Combine the kale, pickled shallots, persimmons and Gorgonzola in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wrap beets in parchment-lined foil (each color in a separate packet). Place on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until knife-tender, about 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub beets with paper towels to remove skins. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
- Remove peels and pith from citrus fruits with a sharp knife. Working over a small bowl to catch juices, carefully cut between membranes to remove segments. Squeeze juice from membranes into bowl.
- Arrange beets, citrus segments, persimmons, endive, and watercress on a platter. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons reserved citrus juices and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Drizzle vinaigrette over salad just before serving.
Tips:
- Choose ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft to the touch and have a deep orange color. Avoid persimmons that are green or have brown spots.
- Slice persimmons thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing better and make them easier to eat.
- Use a variety of citrus fruits: Oranges, grapefruits, and lemons all work well in this salad. You can also use a combination of citrus fruits.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Garnish the salad with fresh herbs: Mint, cilantro, or basil are all good options.
Conclusion:
This persimmon and orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
